anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

I was thinking that the tooth would have been a good riding game tag, but I had little interest in playing last night.

Thanks for having mercy on the game and not using that tooth. Can't think of another anywhere. Maybe a tooth shaped rock or something. We used to joke about the Cadillac Escalades with the iridescent white paint and how they look like a big tooth.
 
So after looking for a barber pole for the riding game I concluded that the barbers in my neighbourhood don't have them at all. So I did a small trip. The sun was out for most of the time bet as i stopped at a local decommissioned airfield strip the sun was gone.

This is the old airstrip, and the area is now converted to a nature reserve. (no motor vehicles allowed:( )

And here you can see two aircraft bunkers in the back.

And swung down and around by beach, wasnt gonna stop for photo, but all the gulls were posing for me.
Gulls are not at the beach as much as they used to be (is landfill now about 10 miles inland).

And I have to decide between:
Spend most of day raking leaves,
or just get started raking leaves then go for ride and stop at discgolf course,
or let leaves sit (heck, there will be more) and go for longer ride and stop at a more distant disc golf course (top ranked in US).

I will deliberate on that... so that I can come to a reasonable, practical, responsible decision.

Very nice fairing and paint on your bike!!!!
Looks OEM, I've never seen a GS with a fairing like that.
 
Took the highway part way there

P1240936.jpg Motorclassica, Royal Exhibition Buildings, Melbourne. Was a rather wet morning. 4 ?C at home just before dawn. Not that I saw any sun before lunch time. Got to a balmy 10 ?C.
 
Took the the TUX out for a run, did some "scrambler" modifications, installed a DRZ400 pipe and new muffler... Sick!! With the PCV it buzzes right along. For a 250 LOL.

Jedz, that first pic could be used for the bike's sales brochure. They may have to airbrush out the mods though.

Beautiful country up there!
 
Now stuff the DRZ motor in there, too...

The thought has crossed my mind but a solid limp is +$1700!!!. I could go down and Turbocharge like my Indonesian brother's for less then half the cost... lol Which I'm seriously considering.

WTF??? Just buy a bigger bike.
So you're already fed up with the 250cc thumper??

I am NO WAY fed up with this little bike, I LOVE IT!!!

I have a bigger bike, a few actually... It's not the speed I'm chasing. It's fun to see what this little machine is capable of! It's a weird sensation, I don't want to make it fast, it will never be that way... But No one has ever made it faster, so I guess that's my reasoning. It's a hoot to ride as is but I'm curious on what it's capable of and because no one has done it.... I need to answer that question.

Like I said it goes beyond logic here. I'm having a hoot modifying this little bike and then riding the snot out of it!!!
